An extended Ulster squad has been named ahead of Friday’s first versus second RaboDirect PRO12 game with Scarlets at Ravenhill (kick off 7.05pm).
Dan Tuohy could feature against the Welsh side after he resumed training earlier this week. The second row suffereda torn calf muscle in the 9-10 loss to Northampton three weeks ago but has responded well to treatment.
Development hooker Niall Annett, who made a significant impact off the bench in Saturday’s defeat to Munster, has also been included despite Rory Best returning to the squad.
Best is one of a number of internationals, including Andrew Trimble, Iain Henderson and Ruan Pienaar, who are available after missing the trip to Thomond Park.
Tickets for both forthcoming home games against Scarlets, and Glasgow on Friday 11th January are now very limited and only behind the goal posts are available. Please note this area is restricted viewing and not suitable for children.
